Corvallis, OR. -- Oregon State head football coach Mike Riley met with the media following Monday’s practice in preparation for Saturday’s showdown between the No. 10 Beavers and BYU Cougars in Provo at 12:30 p.m. PDT on ABC (regional).

Just to let you know, I missed the Tuesday and Wednesday blogs this week because I was in the hospital being treated for chest pains. Cardiac has been ruled out at this time, but there are more tests yet to go, so we'll see what they tell us. Thanks for checking in.

With the win over Toronto, Saskatchewan improves to 8-6, ahead of this Saturday's game in Edmonton against the Eskimos. Kickoff is set for 4:00pm EDT on 620 CKRM and the Rider Radio Network, with Rod Pedersen and Carm Carteri calling the action. The game can be seen in Canada on TSN and in the U.S., the game can be seen online on ESPN3.com.

The vice presidential debate is tonight (Thursday). [There's good news and bad news for Paul Ryan -- the good news is he's debating Joe Biden. The bad news is the moderator is Big Bird.]

You've heard the joke that there's a Starbucks on every corner. Not true -- that's just silly. But there's one within 20 miles of 80 percent of Americans, and the furthest you'd ever have to drive to get your coffee fix from a Starbucks-owned store is 140 miles.

San Francisco, CA. -- It was widely assumed when the Giants arrived here that they'd make a quick U-turn back to San Francisco.

Instead, they're poised to execute an entirely different kind of turnaround.

After losing the first two games of their National League Division Series against the Cincinnati Reds, the Giants continued their recovery Wednesday with a dominant 8-3 victory that featured eight extra-base hits and superb pitching from Tim Lincecum -- both surprising elements in the wake of recent events.

A survey by the UK version of the Girl Scouts (Girlguiding) found that marriage is not on the priority list for teens as much as it used to be. The majority of girls 7- to 21-years-old defined "success" as "being confident and independent" rather than "being married." Just three years ago the majority chose marriage as the #1 achievement before 30.
